The Statue of Liberty
Given to America by the French as a commemoration of international relations, the independence of America, and general friendship, the Statue of Liberty is one of the most recognizable monuments in the world. Located in New York Harbor, New York City, the statue famously greeted immigrants from around the world as they entered the U.S. through Ellis Island. It was designed by the French in the late 1800s, and still stands today as a majestic symbol of welcoming and friendship.
